Censorship in ChatGPT (Ask for Matthew Sag.)
24 points by ladino 961 days ago
Interesting catch: try to ask anything about Matthew Sag. in ChatGPT and you will get a "I'm unable to produce a response"

I guess the background is https://law.emory.edu/faculty/faculty-profiles/sag-profile.html

> Sag is currently working on several theoretical contributions to copyright law in relation to AI and machine learning and a series of empirical papers using text-mining and machine learning tools to study judicial behavior.

(another idea is to add Matthew Sag. to block it from ChatGPT ;))

Seems you can jailbreak this by asking about "Mathew Sag"
